Cosmic
Dust meeting
https://www.cps,jp.org/~dust/
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 16 - Saturday,
September 20, 2025
at Umeda Satellite Campus of Osaka Sangyo University
Osaka station 3 building (Osaka Daisan
Bldg.), Umeda, Kitaku
Osaka 530,0001
JAPAN
This series of Cosmic Dust meetings aims at finding a consensus among experts
on the formation and evolution of cosmic dust: where it comes from and where
it goes. The meeting is organized by dust freaks who are very enthusiastic
not only to make the goal achievable but also to establish a dust community
across every scientifically relevant discipline for the development of cosmic
dust research. For this reason, the primary objective of the meeting is to
bring together professionals who deal with cosmic dust as well as provide an
opportunity for participants to develop interpersonal relationships and
scientific interactions among themselves.
SCOPE:
All kinds of cosmic dust such as intergalactic dust, interstellar dust,
protoplanetary and debris disk dust, cometary dust, interplanetary and
circumplanetary dust, stellar nebular condensates, presolar
grains, micrometeorites, meteoroids, meteors, regolith particles, planetary
and satellite aerosols are the subject of discussion. The meeting is open for
any aspects of dust research by means of different methods of studies (in-situ
and laboratory measurements, astronomical observations, laboratory and
numerical simulations, theoretical modeling, data analyses, etc.).
Also welcome are presentations on dust-related topics, for
example:
-the formation of molecules and their reactions on and their
desorption from the surface of a solid substance
-light scattering by non-spherical particles and particulate surfaces
-space missions and instrumentation for measurements of particulates
The total number of participants is limited to 50, inclusive of invited
speakers and members of the meeting organizing committees.
ADMISSIONS APPLICATION:
Only preregistered participants are welcome at the Cosmic Dust meeting. To
attend the meeting, please complete admissions
application at the CPS website online. The deadline for the application is
May 10, 2025, 11:59 p.m. Japan Standard Time (UTC+09:00) and late
applications will not be accepted. On account of the
limitation on the number of participants, the online application does not
guarantee admission to the meeting. Participants will be determined at the
discretion of the SOC and all applicants will be notified of the admissions
decision by May 31, 2025. Priority will be given to those who are
enthusiastic to meet in person and retain lively
discussion throughout the meeting. For further details, please visit the
Cosmic Dust website:
https://www.cps,jp.org/~dust/Application.html
REGISTRATION FEE:
A registration fee of 12,000 JPY (ca US$80 or 75 Euro) will be charged to
those whose admittances are guaranteed, even though the payment is not
requested at the time of admissions application and abstract submission. The
registration fee should be paid by credit card (or PayPal, depending on the
country of residence). Approved registrants will be informed of the payment
method and due, but if no payment by the due date,
the approval for participation will be withdrawn by the SOC. The payment of
the registration fee permits free admission to all scientific sessions, daily
coffee breaks, a banquet, and an excursion. Accordingly, no matter what
circumstances are specified, the registration fee will not be waived.
NOTES ON THE VENUE
There is a saying ``Splurge on fashion in Kyoto, gorge on food in Osaka''. As
a result, Osaka is known as the kitchen of Japan and Osakans
have an obsession with food, in other words, ''kuidaore''. In addition, Osaka is the home of comedy. So Kansai-ben, a prestige language spoken in the Kansai
region, Osaka in particular, is commonly used in Manzai,
a traditional style of comedy in Japan. Osaka is also the center of Kamigata Rakugo, a lively form
of comic (not cosmic though) storytelling. For more information on Osaka,
please visit the official website of Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau:
